Chelsea in surprise move for Everton player

With a few days left to the end of the summer transfer window, Chelsea have been linked with moves for a new player from Everton, which comes as a surprise.

The reports revealed that the Blues are now in the race to sign Anthony Gordon from Everton and have tabled a £40million bid for the player.

Chelsea want to sign a new right-sided player to provide competition for Reece James.

Everton are believed to value the 21-year-old for at least £50m.

The report disclosed that talks are set to continue this week.

According to the report, it is said that agreeing to personal terms with Gordon will not be a problem for Chelsea.

Gordon has played against Chelsea this season, during their 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park.

It is, however, unknown if Everton would be willing to let him leave without Chelsea meeting their price demands.
